The Malarial Marshes, and City Nuisances, Biitor Star:—During the first six of eleven years’ residence here, malarial diseases avd their disastrous sejwelie were rare save in localities adjacent to marshes and undrained grounds: but within the last five years they have been gradually increasing in frequency, and no part of tne city now seems exempt from their invasion. Not a few of the deaths of the past two years attributed to o:ner causes, were doubtless due, primarily, to the | debilitating effects of long residence in’a vitia ted atmosphere, thus inviting attacks of more speedily fatal diseeses. This complication in the morechronte foras of ailments prevailing here, 1s, likely, quite as frequent. And all this progressive Increase of diseases having a mal+ rial basis or complication, has occurred in Us lace Of constant sauliary improvements or our surroundings. It logically follows, then, that we must apply our remedial efforts in directions other than those already tried if we would rid ourselves of the insidious and deadly Intiuenc: that has acquired such momentum on its w: toour ruin. Money and public spirit enouga | to put our river front in the best possible sani- | tary condition, and to force out of town the | several nuisances now tolerated within our mits seem the most obvious and urgent de mands of the situation. That the pestilentia! former are considerably agyra- the latter is too generally conceded to require discussion. Congress 1s on the giving hana; no additional argument ts needed to enforce’ the | lesson inculcated by the deaths of several M C3 in the past twenty months, saying nothing of others, und nothing additional in the way of vile smelis and offensive Dreciplcates ts required to convince Washingtonians of their rignts of self-defence. ‘The quickest and best way by which to meet present requirements to the matter is the ouly point not substantially agreed upon, and here is wide latitude for agreements.

It extends back from the river avaraging about a mile in breadth, and fs bounded by sloping hills. terminating Ia the heights of Georgetown. This platean fs tourmile- n length from east. to west, and is enclosed 04 the east by the Eastern Branch of the Povoin i, and on the west by Rock creek at Georgetown. ‘This plateau was divided by an estuary rrom the Potomac about 1,000 feet In width, jutting up to within a quarter of a mlie of Capitol Hill, and extending in places up to the line of Pem sylvania avenue and ending ina marsh where Center Market now stands, South of Capito! Hill a number of spring branches formed a stream, which entered the river at the Arsenal | at Greenleaf’s point, agit ts now called, which point runs out between the intersection of the astern Branch with the Potomac, and was known as “James’ Creek.” Above Georgetown was Goose creek, but known by a ‘certificate of survey, In 1663, still preserved. as “Titer.” ‘So Moore was wrong, after all, when he sat “«"Twas Goose creek once, ‘tis Tiber now.” By the same survey, 1 appears that Capitol Hill was called ** Rome. The Potomac was navigable for the largest class of vessels as far as Greenieaf’s point, we know from the approach of the British squadron when Washington was captured, and by the fact that the first-class frigate Minnesota was built at the navy yard and taken dowa safely to the Chesapeake. ‘The Eastern Brauch is a Uda! stream, onee navigable for large saips, andeven twenty-tive years ago navigable by small vessels as far as Biadensourg. These waters abounded with a great varlety of excel- lent fish, and In the winter months swarmed with ducks—especially the delicious canvas back—which migrated hither from the north to feed upon the wild oats and celery which grew fb profusion in the marshes and flats. The woods were filled with game, and SNIVE SHOOTING ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE became a fayorite amusement. The ground plan of the city was formed by twolines, the one running north aud south and the other east and west. These lines intersect ata point which 1s marked by a smal! round marble stone, in the center of the floor of the rotunda. The streets running parallel withthe north and south line are numbered by figures. Ist, 2d, 3d, &c.; and the streets crossing these at right angles are designated by the letters of the | alphabet, A,B,C,&c. “This was the Idea of Major | L’Enfant, and the French minister, punaing on the name, said he was achild enfant), in name as Well as education, for he seemed to know nothing but i, 2,3, and A. B,C. Tuese rectilinear streets are intersected at different angles by numerous avenues, radiating trom the Capitol and President's House, and named after the states. There are over two hundred miles of streets: there are sixty-five miles of avenues; the area of the streets and avenues Is over 3,600 acres, and the building ground, including the goverameat reservations, “han 3,500 acres. Many ot the avenues and streets are from 130 to 160 fect wide, and none of the original streets are less than’90 feet In width. MAGNIFICENT PLANS FOR THE CAPITAL City. ‘The intentions Of the commissioners may well be called magnificent—with even more pro- priety than the distances, The following were some of the principal designs: ‘There was to be an equestration statue of Washington, to carry into effect the provision of the Continental Congress. The site assigned for that purpose was that now occu- plea by the Washington Nationa: Monument. ‘An historic column, also intended fora mile or itinerary column, from whose station—at a mile from the Federal house—all distances and laces through the continent were to be calcu- ted. The site for this was east of the Cupi- tol, at the Intersection of East Capitol street, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Kentucky and ‘Tennessee avenues. A naval itinerary column to celebrate the first rise of a navy “and to stand a ready mon- ument to its progress and achieve- ments.” Fifteen squares were to be divided among the ‘several states of the Union, for each of them to improve, the centers of these squares designed for statues, [cohumns, Obelisks, &c., such as the different states miy"bt Choose to erect. ‘A Pantheon, or National Church for national P as public prayer, thanksgiving, fun- Prat orations. ‘&c., assigned to tne special tise of ‘no particular sect or denomination, but equally open to all. It was intended likewise for the yn of such monumeats as were voted by the tinental Congress for the heroes who fell in the Revolution and for others that, might be afterwards decreed. The site deatg- pated for this structure is now occupied by the Patent Office. Five grand fountains.

LAYING THE COR R STONE OF THE CAPITOL. ‘The southeast corner stone of te Capitol was laid on the tsth of September, 1793. The Masonic ceremonies usual at that day were ob- served, In which Lodge 22, of Virginia, with Grand’Master P.J. George Washington, Wor. sbiptal Master, took the leading part. A detail of the proceedings appeared in the Maryland cazetle, Of September h,1 published at Annapolis.

God save the United States of America, DANIEL WEbSTER, Secretary of State of the United States.” DANIEL WEBSTER UPON GEORGE WASHINGTO! In his speech on this occasion Mr. Webster referred to the laying of the first corner stone in the following eloquent language: “ Fellow citizens; what contemplations are awakened In our minds, as we assemble here 0 re-ehav't a scene like that performed by Wash- | ington! Methinks I see his venerable form before me now, as presented in the glorious | statue by Houdon, now in the Capitol of Vir- ginla. He is dignitied and grand; but concern and anxicty seem to soften the lineaments of his countenance. The governinent over which he presides 1s still in the crisis of experiment. Not free from troubles at, home, he sees the world in commotion and in arms all around | him. He sees that imposing foreign powers are | baif disposed to try the strength of the recently | established American government. We per- | ceive that mighty thoughts, mingled with fears | aS well as with hopes, are struggling within him. then naked fields; he crosses yonder stream on hence, whose original oaks of the forests stand as thick around him as ifthe spot had been de- yoted to Druidical worship, and here he per- formas the appointed duty of the day.” THE VIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS of the clty were extremely liberal. Much of the government land was given to Georgetown and to other religious associations, which accounts for the large amount of real property now pos- sessed by some of them. The policy of gratuit- ous donations of lots to foreign ministers for the purpose of resience was approved both by Weshington and Adams. Such offers were made to all friendly powers, and General Wash- ington himself located a site for the Queen of Port ugal, and the deed was executed, endorsed | with approbation. It is true that these grants did not take effect, because Congress alone had the power to authorize such a con- veyance, but it shows the policy of inducing impxovements. ut these liberal views did not long prevall, and Washington remained until after the close | ofawara “mud hole.” There were several reasons which operated to retard its crowth. In the first place, there was the uncertainty of its_rem: the permanent seat of govern- ment; then there was no inducement in the way of manufactures or commerce te bring In | capitalists. ‘The lottery plan for bullding the City Hall fixed a debt of 000 and the vision- ary scheme, which then excited such a furore, oi building a canal to connect the waters of the Potomac, at Washingtot Ohio river, lett another debt upon the city of over half a million. These were large sums for those Umes, Then the immense proportions of the city, the extent of the parks and the enormous area of the streets and avenues and the swampy condition of the ground, was such that any material improvement was far beyond the means of the city. The views of ‘THE “ STRICT CONSTRUCTIONISTS,” which then prevailed, could find no authority in the Constitution to permit Congress to make any appropriations; nor indeed was there any disposition to do so even by those who did not feel hampered by such constitutional scruples. The consequence was that Pennsylvania avenue itself—not to speak of less important. h- fares—remained for many years an morass, intersected by deep ravines.
